After eighteen months of pedaling, charging, and navigating city streets without a single drop of fuel, EcoMove has officially crossed the 100,000 delivery mark. Every single one of them: zero direct CO₂ emissions. We wanted to take a moment to reflect on what that number actually means — and what it taught us.
The City Is More Efficient Than We Thought
When we launched, many people told us that electric bikes and cargo vehicles couldn’t compete with traditional vans on speed or capacity. They were wrong. By optimizing our routes with smart software and using consolidation pickup points, our average delivery time is now on par with conventional couriers — and in dense urban areas, we’re often faster. No parking problems, no traffic jams, no idling engines.
Our Riders Are the Real Innovation
Technology gets a lot of credit in the logistics world, but the truth is that EcoMove runs on people. Our fifteen riders and support staff have logged thousands of hours in rain, heat, and everything in between. They’ve suggested route improvements, flagged inefficiencies, and built genuine relationships with the clients on their regular rounds. You can’t automate that kind of trust.
“The best feedback we’ve ever received didn’t come from an algorithm — it came from a rider who noticed a client struggled to carry their packages upstairs.”
What 100,000 Deliveries Actually Saved
By our calculations, replacing conventional diesel vans with our electric fleet over these 100,000 deliveries has avoided approximately 18 tonnes of CO₂ entering the atmosphere. That’s the equivalent of planting over 800 trees — except we didn’t have to wait twenty years to see the results.
What Comes Next
We’re not stopping at 100,000. The next milestone is expanding our consolidation point network so more neighborhoods can access green last-mile delivery. We’re also piloting a reusable packaging return program with three local e-commerce businesses this summer.
100,000 deliveries down. Many more to go.
